The winds aren't near as bad as they were talking might develop, but the rainfall per hour x the speed moving through, will govern the impact.

There's up to 40 inches of rain predicted. That's the worry right now in NC. Especially in my basement apartment. My brother has been pushing me to go up to PA with him. I am debating on it. Might be more stressful than the hurricane! I'm trying to decide if it's an overreaction or not.

Raleigh looks like it's in the 4" - 6" band as of this posting time. Has your apartment had water issues before? Does the ground slope toward your apartment? Do the downspouts aim well away from the foundation? You could be perfectly fine. You could also have a problem. Depends entirely on your immediate local topography and drainage.

I'm not sure where they get that number. We're supposed to have days of rain. There's no way it's 4-6 inches. The European mode shows significantly higher numbers.

There's a drainage ditch out back and it is already half full.

I know it's probably ridiculous, but I'm going to head out. If I was in a higher apartment, then I would stay.

I know the link. I've been on it for days. I meant how they calculated that number.

Interesting to see the slight changes now that the forecast rainfall totals include Thursday of next week. Instead of 1-2 inches, we are now supposed to get 2-4 inches. Still manageable for us.
Raleigh is in the 6" to 10" zone now.
My MIL in Black Creek, NC is also in the 6" to 10" zone.

@glatt - It's probably because of the downgrade. Slower moving storm dumping lots of rain. I'm right on the edge of the 6-10 and 10-15 forecast. Flash flood watch is already in effect here.

Even though I don't want to drive, I'm going to go.
